E-Governance
Common man- no substantial advantage of ICT in governance. Exceptions: Bhoomi, registration and service centers. passive so far - digitized or simplified or outsourced.

E-governance
What common man gets?
1. Few information & documents. 2. Interaction are easier, if not simpler. (HDMC, Mysore PGRS) 3. Few process are faster now.

E-governance
What common man DOES NOT get?
1. No substantial reduction in corruption. 2. Two-way interactions with government are still painful! 3. No participation - absence of real-time and ready-to-use information.

E-Governance
Digitization- easiest! But, 2/3 of interactions in government are yet to be digitized! Discussions are not digitized. 100% digitization - foundation for next crucial step: sharing.

E-Governance
Sharing active Egovernance.

Sharing - will lead to: participationimprovement in systems-efficiency-credibilitypositive cycle-sustainability of democratic government. Unilateral simplification of procedurestermed as E-governance now. (G2G, G2C, G2B)

E-Governance
1. Process simplification- No participation from stake holders. 2. No platforms for interactions simplifications have time and cost overruns. 3. Can the governments afford that? In these times of CAG and Anna?!

Road forward
1. Digitize the data and interactions completely. 2. Platforms - shared, simplified and made readyto-use. 3. Both offline and online.

Road forward
1. The changes in the way of storage and sharing for information - drastic and permanent change in the human life. 2. Current revolution in ICT --the current way we life. drastic change in

3. Alert government-shift to e-governance --smooth transition, else, it could be violent.

What can we do?

Demand 100% digitization. Sharing of all the information. Dont wait for RTI. Create interactive E-governance platforms.
